HUFFMAN, L.APLENTY BIRD IN HIS SWEAT LODGE." 28 3/4" X 29 1/2" MATTED AND FRAMED ORIGINAL HUFFMAN PHOTOGRAPH, HAND COLORED,TITLED, AND SIGNED BY HUFFMAN IN WHITE INK ON THE SURFACE OF THEPHOTOGRAPH AFTER THE COLORING WAS COMPLETED [Milestown: The Huffman Picture Studio, ca 1920]., 1920. The original negative is a 6" x 8" glass plate and the original photograph would have been taken sometime during the 1890s. This photograph is an enlargement using the original glass plate negative. There is no way of knowing how many colored enlargements Huffman produced of this image, only that the total would not be very many. We have been told this colored image was not used on page 125, of Peterson&#39;s L. A. HUFFMAN, PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE AMERICAN WEST, because it was not known that a color image existed. Plenty Bird was a Cheyenne and Huffman said, "Plenty Bird was a friend, a good sign talker." In this photograph, Plenty Bird&#39;s wife has placed inside this lodge, some hot stones. A little later she will cover the lodge with robes and blankets and pass him in a gourd of water, which he will sprinkle upon the hot stones, until he has had his Turkish bath. When the bath is over and the steam has dissipated, he will duck out and get into the cold waters of the creek, and be rid of his ailments. A handsome photograph from a premier American photographer of the old West, and one of a kind.

Heisenberg, Wernerber die Spektra von Atomsystemen mit zwei Elektronen in Zeitschrift fÃ¼r Physik, Vol. 39, 1926, pp. 499-518 With Zur theorie des ferromagnetismus in Zeitschrift fÃ¼r Physik Vol. 49, 1928, pp. 619-636 FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE OF TWO SEMINAL PAPERS: Heisenberg&#39;s groundbreaking contribution to magnetism and to the identification of the quantum mechanical exchange energy. "Heisenberg&#39;s masterly contribution in magnetism lies in identifying the quantum mechanical exchange energy, first appearing in the context of chemical bonding and spectroscopy, to be of central importance in explaining ferromagnetism&hellip; The question was this: If every atom has an outer cloud of electrons, then how do atoms approach each other to form a chemical bond? It was Heisenberg who showed that the interaction between electrons, called the exchange energy," was the key (ibid., 60). His "exchange interaction" is a force generated solely by the exchange of positions of two totally indistinguishable quantum particles - "a quantum mechanical effect which increases or decreases the expectation value of the energy or distance between two or more identical particles when their wave functions overlap" (Wikipedia). In the early 20th century physicists did not understand ferromagnetism on an atomic basis. "It was Heisenberg&#39;s work in the late 1920&#39;s that filled this void. To accomplish this, quantum mechanics had to be discovered first&hellip; It was indeed in the fitness of things that the quantum dynamics of the electron left an imprint on another area, namely magnetism, which too had to do with the magnetic effects of electron dynamics" (ibid., 58). What Heisenberg began to understand was the connection between ferromagnetism and electron bonding, two areas that most physicists believed were wholly unconnected phenomena. "It was Heisenberg, who saw the connection and established it in two seminal papers, written in 1926 and 1928 [the two papers offered here]" (Chatterjee, "Heisenberg and Ferromagnetism," Resonance, 2004, 63-64). CONDITION & DETAILS: Berlin: Julius Springer. 4to. (9 x 6.5 inches; 225 x 163mm). Two full volumes. Zeitschrift fÃ¼r Physik Volumes 39 and 49.

VANZETTI, BARTOLOMEOExtensive Autograph Letter Signed, six pages on 3 separate 4to sheets of line paper, Dedham (Norfolk County) Jail, May 22, 1927 Vanzetti writes a long easy to read letter, from the Dedham jail, almost three months to the day before he died in the electric chair. He writes to Lilly Sarnoff, a sympathizer. "Dear comrade Lilly â€¦we are hoping very little...we have never hoped in Courts and Judgesâ€¦we are still hoping only on what the comrades and the people will compel the State to give us. Because our case is grave, the solidarity so vast and great, the accuse [sic] so weak and wreched [sic], and our defencive [sic] proofs so strong and evidentâ€¦the people hoped in a victory and they always got a defeat. Now we are in the hands of Gubernatorial discretion. A bad beast , believe me. But as the evidences [sic] in our favor are so strong, as the protest is universal, the people hope again in a victory. Our case provedâ€¦that a handful of men invested of power by the stupidity of the people and who call themselves public servants care a fig for the people [sic] wishes and pay no attention to the people claimsâ€¦I guess is was Victor Hugo who said that, &#39;Hope would be the last goodness in life were it not for disperation [sic, no end quote]. I think there is something beyond disperation [sic] and I have learnt that man cannot lives [sic] without hopingâ€¦Oh! About the Madison Square Gardenâ€¦.The &#39;Corriere of America&#39; an [sic] fascista-daily of New Yorkâ€¦reported that there was 300 or 400 people at the demonstration and that the orator attacked the fascismo and were violently radical in their words. The Boston Herald said thee were 10,000 people, and the Daily Worker that were 20,000. I think the Herald was the more exact of the threeâ€¦the Corriere published a letter of an Italian captain, asking what attitude the radical would assume if S. & V.[Sacco and Vanzetti] were fascista. I wanted to answer that we would not even have been indicted if instead to be anarchists we would have been blackguardsâ€¦." He interrupts his reaction to the reports of the demonstration in New York with personal musings about how his experiences and thoughts might "make a wonderful book." He continues. "Now, returning to the meeting I said it to be of [sic]the Madison Square Garden - I wish to specify that I mean the later demonstration in our behalf, which happened lately in some public square of New Yorkâ€¦the comrades have beenâ€¦galvanized by our trial and our performing wonders. Mankind as [sic] done for two obscure and rebellious workers what on [sic] the past would have only be [sic] done for saints and kingsâ€¦." He signs in full, "Bartolomeo Vanzetti.". At the time Vanzetti wrote this exceptionally detailed letter, the Sacco and Vanzetti case had almost reached its historical conclusion. Their appeals were exhausted, and as Vanzetti refers to here, their case was now in the hands of Massachusetts Governor Fuller to whom they appealed for clemency. Their appeal was denied. Sacco and Vanzetti were arrested for murder during a payroll robbery in Braintree, Massachusetts, a crime both denied committing. As Italian immigrants and open anarchists, they were caught up in the fear and prejudices of the Palmer raid and Red Scare of the 1920&#39;s . Both men received a posthumous pardon by former Massachusetts Governor, Michael Dukakis, but the controversy of their innocence remains. Vanzetti&#39;s eloquence also endures as is evidenced in this letter from jail. Despite his misspellings and occasional incorrect syntax, this letter bears witness to one of America&#39;s liberal heroes. Overall browned, bends and slight chips to margins, margin creases, one hole on third sheet near the correspondent&#39;s name.

Front and rear covers abraded along top edge. Toning and very light buckling to endpapers. Printed dedication on paste-down title on front cover reads: "For Colonel W.E.R. Kelly. With the Compliments of Major Drapkin & Co." The Introduction to the volume identifies its intent: to trace the history of the "Scots Greys" in word and picture. "The Second Royal North British Dragoons (the &#39;Scots Greys&#39;) have a record of nearly two hundred and fifty years&#39; distinguished service... Every regiment has its romance--the romance of its history, traditions, corporate spirit. These memories of the glorious past help to form its fighting spirit, and are rightly treasured by those whose work it is to make the living regiment worthy of its honorable parentage." The narrative traces the Dragoons from 1678 through the First World War. Major Drapkin & Company were the manufacturers of Greys cigarettes. "Romance of the Greys" is an uncommon publication, listed as being held by only one WorldCat library. The volume, in good condition, is beautifully illustrated; contents bright and clean. .

Linards LaicensKaravane. Dzejoli 1913-1919. Niklavs Strunke grafika. Riga: Vainags 1920 - Octavo, wrappers, 127pp., undated but 1920. Linards Laicens (1883-1938) was one of the leading intellectual forces of the Latvian avant-garde. A leftist, frankly often a propagandist, he was a poet, novelist and essayist who had a strong sense of visual design. He edited a number of major journals, left for the USSR in 1935 and was executed there in 1938. This work is the first collection of his poems in the new republic of Latvia. Laicens enlisted Niklavs Strunke for book design, cover and five linocuts, all in Strunke&#146;s most visually experimental style incorporating futurist and cubist elements. Niklavs Strunke (1894-1966) was one of the leading artists of the Riga avant-garde artists group; a gifted graphic designer, he worked in both conventional and cutting-edge genres. Rare: only one copy found in North American libraries. [Attributes: First Edition; Soft Cover]

Lindsay, VachelThe Chinese Nightingale - and Other Poems New York: Macmillan, 1920. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/no dust jacket. First Edition, First Printing, inscribed and SIGNED by the author. Decorated yellow cloth boards (dragon and pagoda motif). Light soiling to spine and boards. Tiny spots of wear at base of spine. Binding is tight & square, no cracking. Pages and edges are clean and free from previous owner markings. Inscribed and signed by author on front free endpaper: "My good wishes to Mildred M. McOmber - Nicholas Vachel Lindsay - May 9, 1921, Syracuse, New York - Come let us be bold with our songs." 127 pages. Nicholas Vachel Lindsay (November 10, 1879 &#150; December 5, 1931) was an American poet. He is considered the father of modern singing poetry, as he referred to it, in which verses are meant to be sung or chanted. His extensive correspondence with the poet Yeats details his intentions to revive the musical qualities in poetry as had been practiced by the ancient Greeks. For the final twenty years of his life, Lindsay was one of the best-known poets in the US. His reputation was high enough to enable him to befriend, encourage, and mentor other poets, such as Langston Hughes and Sara Teasdale. Vachel Lindsay, together with Langston Hughes, helped define the school of Jazz Poetry in the first decades of the 20th century.
